Given their track record the last time round I certainly don't think they'll be better for the country as a whole. They'll just invent more boltholes for the rich to stash their money without paying tax and have some very popular flotations of whatever we have left that's worth selling off, which will cost us all a lot more in the end.Originally Posted by aromulus
They believe in "small government" and they're instinct is to cut, cut and cut again. In normal times they would cut what they thought the could get away with, but when the whole country knows we're going to need cuts to bring us out of the red, they'll come into power with what they see as a mandate to cut anything and everything that's not bolted down, they'll end up throwing the baby out with the bathwater and we'll all be a lot poorer for it in real terms when we have to pay privately to get some of things we used to get for free and take for granted.
You have to remember that whatever they say now (to get elected), they still at heart believe as maggie did that there is no such thing as society, just individuals and the individuals that they will look after are "their people" as maggie used to call them.
